The links aren’t working on iPhone.

Linas_Jokubaitis

Apple Notes visually displays two types of links: URLs and links to specific notes. The problem is that when using an iPhone, tapping on a URL link in the Notes app doesn’t work as expected. Instead, it opens a menu with options to copy, share, edit, or remove the link. This system is the best I’ve seen so far, but it’s disappointing that such a fundamental element doesn’t function properly. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Linas_Jokubaitis Are you long clicking the link maybe? I'm not aware of an issue like that on iPhone.

Linas_Jokubaitis This happens when you have Safari disabled. If you are unsure, either try opening Safari or check if it is disabled via Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps & Features

I enabled it again and now those links work perfectly fine. I have set the usage limit to 1 or 2 minutes, but if you go over those, it does not impact the linking functionality in Notes (or anywhere else)

Hello Linas!
Maybe provide a screenshot of what you are talking about. I have never experienced that myself. When I click on a normal URL link on my iPhone it will go to the web page using my browser, in this case Safari.
Also, I don't think the behavior of a URL link affects the "system". Remember the myforevernotes systems uses primarily INTERNAL links to other Apple notes. You can use the shortcut symbol >> to create an internal link anywhere in a note.
